With both championship series both evened up at 2-2 after the Bruins’ mugging of the Canucks in Boston on Wednesday night, the NBA final and the Stanley Cup final both now come down to a best-of-three shootout. So, out of the four teams remaining, who has the best shot at winning it all? Let’s take [...]
Lucky us sports fans, we have a pretty exciting two weeks coming up. Why? Well thanks to some wonderful scheduling, we’re going to have pretty much wall-to-wall championship action rotating between the NHL and NBA finals. Starting tonight, we get the Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks tipping off, so let’s trying to break down what [...]
Being off for the long weekend, I haven’t had a chance to weigh in some pretty key events that have taken place and are currently going on in the world of sports. So, Let’s sum up some opinions from the nosebleeds, quick hits style.
THE NHL’S RETURN TO WINNIPEG
Well, it took you long enough. They’ll certainly [...]
As great and compelling both the NBA and NHL playoffs have been thus far, there is one storyline that is involved in both sports and is really starting to piss me off.
What is up with every crowd having to wear the same colour?
I get the whole thing from a unity standpoint, but visually, it’s just [...]
Did we just witness the end of an era?
With the Dallas Mavericks unceremonious sweep of the two-time defending champion Lakers, this could be the end of the Kobe Bryant era. Sure, he’s still going to come back and be one of the top 10 players in all of basketball next season— if and when that [...]
Derrick Rose is now officially the NBA’s MVP, even if most members of the media and fans were preaching that sentiment for the past few months. Rose, at 22 years old, is now the youngest player to ever win the award, but he didn’t do it with astounding stats. That’s where you can really punch [...]
After watching the Canadian federal Liberal party get absolutely crushed during Monday’s election, I tried to think of a sports comparison of what just happened. Well, there’re a few different routes you could go with this one.
Michael Ignatieff took over a party that was doing fine and led the, straight into the gutter. Sounds like [...]
So, which of these playoff feats is more improbable: The Blackhawks’ drive back from being down 3-0 in their series with the Canucks, or the Grizzlies demolishing the top-seeded Spurs and forcing them to the edge of elimination with a 3-1 series lead? Both are quite stunning and shouldn’t be discounted at all, but in [...]
Hey, look at that: I managed to churn out a playoff preview with only one game underway as opposed to my NHL playoff preview where five games had already been completed. Do I get kudos for that? Sure, why not.
Following the NBA regular season that we just went through, it wouldn’t be unrealistic to expect [...]
Monday night’s NCAA championship game was two things and both of them weren’t good things. One, it was a terrible display of offensive basketball (and it wasn’t particularly tied to outstanding defence) and two, it was a serious test for sports writers and copy editors to come up with as many dog puns as they [...]
